FOUNTAIN
VALLEY, Calif., Oct. 21, 2014 – Toca Marketing Group, the Chicago-based design
and customization company that strives to push the limits of aftermarket
fabrication, has revealed its 2015 Genesis
for the 2014 SEMA show. In creating its latest Toca Signature Edition vehicle,
the company has raised the Genesis’
performance and luxury benchmarks, creating a vehicle that breaks down barriers
of innovation in the
pursuit of perfection.
With an
emphasis on fine detail, Toca worked to design and
build a car that goes
head-to-head with the German super sedans that are considered the auto industry’s
performance benchmark. Dubbed “Steel Phoenix,” the car uses Hyundai’s “Tau” 5.0-liter V8 as the
powertrain’s foundation. Toca engineered a one-of-a-kind Garrett twin turbo
setup for the vehicle,
complete with a full ARK Performance catback exhaust system, boosting the power
output to 600 horsepower. By adding an AirRex digital air suspension system,
the car sits lower to the ground on ultra-high performance Toyo rubber, wrapped
around custom 21-inch COR
3-piece wheels. Complementing the car’s twin-turbocharged performance, Toca
added a custom 8-piston front and 6-piston rear brake set up from Neo
Motorsport.
“The
name ‘Steel Phoenix’ came to me as soon as I saw the redesigned Genesis,” said John Toca,
founder and owner of Toca Marketing Group. “The main focus of this build was to
zone in on the luxury
aspect, while improving performance in parallel. Although I wasn’t overly
concerned about pushing crazy horsepower
numbers, the custom-fabricated twin turbo setup adds 180 horsepower over the
stock motor. Whether you’re driving the car, sitting in the
executively-appointed passenger and rear seats, or admiring the car from the outside, this
Genesis is guaranteed to put a smile on your face.”
The
interior has been given the executive treatment with custom black
leather seats complete with contrasting white stitching, carbon-fiber trim
panels and a Rockford Fosgate sound system. The vehicle has been
refinished with a custom blend of BASF R-M products, giving the paintwork a
steel, metallic appearance. Rounding off the exterior appearance, Toca
fabricated a unique, all-metal wide body design with matte and gloss black
accents.
